Russian Artist Illustrates What Would Happen If Famous Characters Got Old, And Thor Is Too Cute
Although the years go fast for every one of us, it’s not very common to see this natural process of aging in cartoons or comics. Have you ever wondered what would happen if our beloved characters and superheroes just grew old and retired, like any other mortal person in the world?
Lesya Guseva is a Perm-based Russian artist who just made it easier for us to imagine this scenario. This artist created a series of illustrations called “Pensioners” where she portrayed some of our favorite Marvel, DC and even Disney characters finally taking their well-deserved rest and just enjoying their normal lives as older people. Have you ever tried to imagine Thor making a birdhouse with his little grandson, Spider-Man knitting with his wife, or Minnie and Mickey Mouse celebrating their 90 birthdays at Disneyland? Scroll down to see them all here for yourself!

The bird is actually from the russian cartoon series Three from Prostokvashino. Look, https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimage.tmdb.org%2Ft%2Fp%2Fw533_and_h300_bestv2%2FbNLKkWskCiKO8IWoPoiGT3MxarS.jpg&f=1

Thor spends the night with this woman and the next morning he says ‘I have to tell you who I am…I’m Thor,’ and she says ‘You’re thor? I can hardly walk!’”

Great attention to detail ✨👁👁✨~> kudos to you, artist, Lesya. ... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼

In Russian: “10!” Guess she’s gone the extra hurdle ... how gleefully illustrated. ... Makes me think of an old caveat... along the lines of “.. to get old & life-experienced by many years is a privilege, not a curse!” ... a very rarely appreciated privilege ... something for ageists & youth worshipping types to re-consider .... RESPECT ✊🏽 😇🙏🏼✨👁👁✨💕

Those are the shells from the sunflower seed she is eating. You can see her holding a cone made from newspaper with the sunflower seeds inside :)

Would Deadpool actually age? His mutation allows him to completely regenerate, so wouldn't that keep him young?

Did they eventually become friends or is the artist assuming that they'd biry the hatchet as they got older?

I can't stop laughing. Joker has bat boxers but a dart through batman's eye in his pic. Batman has a pic of him and Joker as pals, sleeps with a joker doll and it's not even 9 pm hahahaha.... also, I have those slippers and keychain. hahaha

Spider silk is both stronger than steel (in the same quantities) and incredibly soft, so this would be wonderful

IF You'd have read the article title properly it does say: Russian artist illustrates what would happen IF famous characters got old. So this would be them in present day if they aged like the rest of us! =D

As a "mature" person I protest this stereotypical view of age. ( Whoopee, I finally got on the offended bandwagon).
